2 2010 is a year of major importance for the world s oceans. It is the year when: Nations around the world are expected to have met major international targets set by the world s heads of state at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development: applying integrated, ecosystem-based approaches to the governance of oceans and coasts halting biodiversity loss by 2010 The international community will be addressing the challenges and opportunities posed by the emerging international consensus on a new climate regime (as developed through the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, Copenhagen, December 2009). Mitigation, adaptation, and financing issues will profoundly affect oceans, coasts, and Small Island States which are at the front line of climate changes. The Conference will also discuss innovative, private sector solutions to the challenges of climate change. The international community will be considering the progress made towards the 2010 goal of a significant reduction of the current rate of biodiversity loss at global, regional, and national levels as a contribution to poverty alleviation and to the benefit of all life on Earth and raising awareness of the importance of biodiversity during the International Year of Biodiversity. The international community will be celebrating 50 years of advancement of ocean science and policy through the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, also charting the agenda ahead. Major Conference Themes There are three major conference themes, which are interlinked: 1. ENSURING SURVIVAL: Oceans, Climate and Security--Major Issues in Mitigation, Adaptation, and Financing in the Post-Copenhagen Climate Regime 2. PRESERVING LIFE: Marine Biodiversity (2010 global goal), Networks of Marine Protected Areas (2012 global goal), and Celebrating the 2010 International Year of Biodiversity, Toward Nagoya Convention on Biological Diversity Conference of the Parties COP IMPROVING GOVERNANCE: Achieving Integrated, Ecosystem-Based Ocean and Coastal Management (2010 global goal) at National and Regional Levels and in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction 2

Therefore, in all conference panels and discussions, organizers will strive for a good balance between developed and developing country and SIDS participants, and among participants from governments, international organizations, nongovernmental organizations, the private sector, and the scientific community. On the initial two days of the conference (May 3-4, 2010), at the Policy, Science, and Technical Symposium, plenary and concurrent panels will explore the major themes and topics of the conference through presentations and discussions. The Symposium will be organized under the direction of the International Program Committee, with active participation by the Global Forum Working Groups, and open to the input and presentations from other participants. During the Symposium, a Special Workshop will be held on Fifty Years of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission: International Cooperation on the Marine Natural and Social Sciences Looking Ahead to Meeting the Challenges of the Next Fifty Years Global Forum Working Groups and Symposium leaders will prepare, before the conference, Policy Briefs and bottom-line recommendations on each theme and topic for consideration by the High-Level National Officials Roundtable, The Ocean Parliamentarians, and the Network of Local and Regional Authorities. The High-Level National Officials Roundtable, The Ocean Parliamentarians, and the Network of Local and Regional Authorities will meet on May 5 for their separate deliberations. The Policy Conference: Charting the Way Ahead, held on May 6 and 7, will feature plenary panels on the major conference themes and topics, and will chart the way ahead for the international oceans community.

6 About the Global Forum on Oceans, Coasts, and Islands The Global Forum on Oceans, Coasts, and Islands was first mobilized in 2001 to help the world s governments highlight issues related to oceans, coasts, and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) on the agenda of the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), and was later formalized at the WSSD in Johannesburg. The Global Forum is a response to perceived needs: for fostering cross-sectoral dialogue on ocean issues among governments, NGOs, international organizations, and the private and scientific sectors for constant advocacy for oceans at the highest political levels for taking an ecosystem-based and integrated approach to oceans governance at national, regional, and global levels Since 2001, the Global Forum has involved ocean experts representing all sectors from 105 countries to advance the global oceans agenda by: 1) promoting the implementation of international agreements related to oceans, coasts, and SIDS, especially the goals emanating from the 2002 WSSD; 2) analyzing new emerging issues such as improving the governance regime for ocean areas beyond national jurisdiction and addressing the impacts of climate change; and 3) promoting international consensus-building on unresolved ocean issues. The Global Oceans Conferences provide the major opportunity for all sectors of the global oceans community-- governments, international agencies, nongovernmental organizations, industry, and scientific groups-- to address the major policy issues affecting the oceans at global, regional, and national levels and to make progress in advancing the global oceans agenda. The Global Forum has organized four Global Conferences (in 2001, 2003, and 2006 at UNESCO in Paris and in 2008 in Hanoi, Vietnam); organized the Ocean Policy Summit in Lisbon in 2005 documenting experiences with integrated oceans governance in countries and regions around the world; prepared a number of report cards on the implementation of the WSSD ocean targets and of the 1994 Barbados Programme of Action for SIDS; reports on ocean issues in island states; reports on capacity development needs on ocean and coastal management in different world regions; and provided a series of Internet information services, including periodic newsletters. In late 2006, the Global Forum began a strategic planning effort in collaboration with governments, United Nations agencies, NGOs, industry, and scientific groups, to advance the global oceans agenda over the ten-year period to Twelve Multinational Expert Working Groups, involving 254 experts from 72 countries, are considering the major global oceans issues, identifying strategic opportunities for advancing the global goal/target in the next decade, and recommending priority action steps for implementation by national and international decisionmakers.
